@RonMcGillvray Congrats! Nicely done! 🎉🙂👍

FYI: There's a bit of an issue with the Barnes & Noble links on books2read's Universal Book Link pages that's affecting all of my titles (and likely others) listed there. I've talked to support about it and a fix is coming soon. For now, use my B&N link: https://t.co/jmSNlOciWk

Very excited to have "Volume 2" out in the world today.

These take a lot of extra work on my part but are well worth it to give you all more choices. 📚❤️🙂👍

I'd always been reluctant to incur the extra cost of implementing SSL on my official website because I don't collect any data or process any transactions there but as things become increasingly sketchy online, I want folks to be completely confident when visiting it... [1/2]

This is something I've been looking forward to for a very long time. One of my big goals as an author has always been to make my works as easily and widely available as possible, while balancing that against my need to earn a living from them. Grateful for the opportunity. 📚❤️

As I approach the end of the initial draft for "The Nod/Wells Timelines - The Official Compendium," I can't help getting excited about it all over again. There are so many cool things in it, including the story I just finished today, that fans of the universe are going to love.

[Michael Shotter @mdshotter]

Started my first play-through of "Baldur's Gate 3" with some friends this past weekend. 👍 so far. Glad I waited as the game seems to generally be in a good state. Still, shocked by some of the glaring UX issues: mouse pointer covering tool tips, no UI-scale options, etc. 🤔

[Michael Shotter @mdshotter]

I used to take the free engagement when scam/marketing bots would interact with my various accounts but I've come to so thoroughly despise every aspect of that tech and its use that the most I'll bother to do moving forward is report them. LLM/Gen-AI can't go away soon enough. 🤔

[Michael Shotter @mdshotter]

I think I just came across the lowest of the low in terms of AI-driven scams. Account(s) pretending to be an author who either quietly passed away recently, or who no-longer actively publishes, and has no easily-verifiable social media presence. Absolute scumbags. Be wary, folks.

[Michael Shotter @mdshotter]

The primer is back on top for the second time since its release at the beginning of the month. Thanks, everybody!

In other news, I watched the first season of "Paradise" and am enjoying it so far. A few complaints that were more annoying in the moment than they were in retrospect due to some storytelling choices I didn't love but, overall, a good watch. On to S2! 👍

[Michael Shotter @mdshotter]

I've liked "The Boys" less and less since it peaked at the end of its third season but I did find parts of the series finale fairly satisfying. Still think things were drug out way too long and straight-up didn't care for a lot of S4 and S5, but it could have been much worse. 🤔

[Michael Shotter @mdshotter]

There are many great stores that sell my books. One of my favorites is Bookshop(dot)org, where you can find paperback editions of all of them, or eBooks of collections like "The Nod/Wells Timelines - A Primer" and "The Nod/Wells Timelines - Volume 1."
